I am trying to play songs on my phone to my Sonos and the Sonos app on my iPhone does not see the Sonos speaker phone connected via ethernet, however it works over Wi-Fi. All my other devices connect just fine via ethernet. However for some reason Sonos has blocked ethernet functionality via the S2 app. I do not want to use the soeakerĀ as a bridge. I have a fast ethernet connection and I donāt want it to beĀ on Wi-Fi.
Please update your app to use ethernet as a priority instead of wifi.
Whatās connected by Ethernet? Sonos or your phone?Ā
Sonos hasnāt blocked anything. The system works perfectly fine on Ethernet, in āwiredā (SonosNet) mode.Ā
Sonos can no longer directly play files stored on iDevices, owing to changes made to iOS some time back.
If your phone is on WiFi and it canāt see Sonos when wiredĀ then itās likely to be a router/AP problem. Kindly describe your network arrangements.

Why would my phone be connected to ethernet? š¤
my sonos is directly connected to my network switch. It always has been. Iām able connectĀ to it with my apple tv. The sonos app on iphone simply does not see the SL One.
Have you tried unplugging the One SL from power for a couple of minutes and rebooting your router and phone?
If you want to play music stored on your phone to the One SL, you need to play the music over AirPlay.
Why would my phone be connected to ethernet? 
I asked becauseĀ (a) there are Ethernet adapters available for phones and (b) there was some ambiguity in your OP.

If this is a new phenomenon follow the instructions above. If itās never been able to see the speaker then you have network issues preventing it. The most common areĀ a badly designed router which blocks multicast traffic between segments, or a deliberate (or accidental) division of the local network into multiple subnets.
Where is the WiFi coming from? Do you have a mesh WiFi?Ā

The app on the phone can only communicate with what it can āseeā on the network. You need your phone (and, thus, your Wi-Fi) to be in the same broadcast domain as the Ethernet part of your network.
Thereās little benefit to splitting them apart, performance wise, because your Wi-Fi access point will only bridge traffic that needs to cross between the wireless and wired sides (ie broadcast, and anything between specific devices on the two sides).
If you think it is all one network, then check that your Wi-Fi doesnāt have any āstation isolationā features enabled, as they would prevent wireless devices communicating with anything else on the local network too.
